Managed hosting plans

Hosting is priced separately from your ApostropheCMS license, so you can scale infrastructure independently as your traffic and needs grow. Choose a single-server environment for development and lightweight production, scale up with dedicated app servers for high availability, or talk to us about a fully custom Enterprise setup.

  • Basic Environments

    Price: $39/mo

    A single-server environment for development, staging, and lightweight production workloads. 2GB RAM works well for non-production workloads and lower-traffic sites.

    • Best for staging and QA environments
    • Great for feature branch deployments
    • Scale up as needed
  • Performance

    Price: $89/mo per app server

    Performance app servers deliver 4GB of RAM for better scalability.

    Most production sites run on one; high-traffic and/or Assembly deployments typically run two or more behind a load balancer. MongoDB Atlas is included when you have at least two. Designed for multi-server scaling, high availability, and production-grade infrastructure.

    • Scalable app servers
    • CDN deployments
    • Amazon EC2, S3, and MongoDB Atlas
  • Solutions
